DGAO Congress 2026

DGAO Congress 2026: ‘Aligner in All Dimensions’ — A Cutting-Edge Forum for Aligner Orthodontics in Cologne

The upcoming 9th Scientific Congress for Aligner Orthodontics, organised by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Aligner Orthodontie (DGAO), is set to take place on 13–14 November 2026 in Cologne, Germany, with a pre-congress day on 12 November. Under the thematic motto “Aligner in All Dimensions,” the congress will comprehensively explore the full spectrum of aligner therapy—from emerging systems and clinical workflows to the latest scientific evidence and future-oriented technologies.

Designed for clinical practitioners, researchers, orthodontic technicians and allied professionals, the event promises an intensive exchange of knowledge through presentations by internationally recognised speakers, expert case-analyses and comprehensive discussions. It will emphasise practical experience, new scientific findings and the variety of aligner techniques currently available. In parallel to this high-level academic programme, the congress features an accompanying industrial exhibition where delegates can engage firsthand with the latest product innovations, service providers and technologies supporting aligner orthodontics.

Beyond the formal sessions, the DGAO Congress fosters vibrant professional networking, offering attendees the chance to reconnect with colleagues, meet industry partners and build new collaborations across borders. Whether you practise solo, as part of a multi-specialist team or within an academic setting, you will benefit from the insights, practical skills and peer connections this event provides.

In summary, DGAO Congress 2026 is a must-attend forum for anyone committed to advancing aligner orthodontics: it combines rigorous science, clinical relevance and industry innovation in a dynamic environment tailored to the present and future of aligner-based treatment.
